Outside the wind blows drifts of icy snow against the window, but inside, with Grandma, I am toasty warm! This is the day for making Hard Candy Christmas treats. Grandma adds the coloring and flavor,and I boil the sugar. When that sugar has turned to syrup, it's ready! --we pour it into the molds and make all my favorite shapes---toy soldiers, horns, reindeer. How pretty the colors look, with the bright sunlight streaming though them!
